Your skills

Your DofE Award was fun, challenging and full of memorable experiences. You may have tried something new, and you almost certainly got fitter, met new people and learnt new things.

Now you’ve got your badge and certificate, you may think it’s all over but your DofE will have left you with more than just amazing memories.

It will have equipped you with a whole host of skills that will help you throughout your life, from keeping calm in challenging situations, to organising your time. Not only are these skills that are crucial to success in everyday life, they are also extremely attractive to employers.
